Subject: Re: Penn over Colgate in W. Lax Author: Know-it-all [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 01:08:03 05/12/08 Mon In reply to: CU_88 's message, "Re: Penn over Colgate in W. Lax" on 00:45:44 05/12/08 Mon I 'm not sure why they aren't holding it at River Field, where it was played last year under similar circumstances (Alumni Weekend, Commencement). But someone in the crowd said that the Drexel site has a similar surface to Franklin Field, and this was the motivating factor. However, my personal opinion is that we forfeit the home field advantage, the familiarity of FF, and make it more difficult for our undergraduate fans to attend. As I recall, parking is limited around there and the neighborhood is many blocks from Penn's campus. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Lax Author: David Perry (Not a Huge Problem) [Edit] Date Posted: 08:46:13 05/15/08 Thu While I'm not thrilled about having to use someone else's field, we still have the home-field advantage, given that they have to drive five-six hours and we don't :-). Given that the seniors will be busy graduating and the rest of the student body will probably have gone home, I doubt undergraduate attendance would be all that great regardless of location. I'm sure the usual fans will be there anyway; I plan to be. It's also not that tough to find; the directions on Drexel's site are pretty good (except for a woeful error regarding the subway. Anybody who's going that way, get off the Market-Frankford at 40th, not 30th!) and it's right off Market. I think the rationale was not wanting to switch to an totally unfamiliar surface at this point in the season.
